Understanding Air Ambulance Accreditations

What is An Air Ambulance Accreditation

An accreditation is the action or process of certification, officially recognizing a company as being competent and qualified to perform a particular service. An air ambulance accreditation determines if an air ambulance provider meets or exceeds industry established criteria for standards of quality and patient care set forth by the accrediting bodies. In the air ambulance industry, accreditation is a voluntary evaluation process.

Based on accredited guidelines, AirCARE1 has built a program based on integrity and safety.

Air Ambulance Accreditation Standards

The accreditation bodies have established standards for high quality aeromedical transportation, looking specifically at patient care and safety of the flight environment. Their goal is to ensure air ambulance providers deliver a certain level of care to include safety and medical protocols proper training in the field of aeromedical transfers, and air- tight operations for management and flight.

The Commission on Accreditation of Medical Transport Systems (CAMTS) is the longest standing accrediting body in the industry. CAMTS is a peer review organization dedicated to improving patient care and transport safety by providng a dynamic onsite accreditation process through the development of standards, education, and services.

Obtaining an Air Ambulance Accreditation

The process to become accredited, is arduous. An Air Ambulance company seeking accreditation must meet all the standards and requirements of the endorsing organization through a rigorous review process. This process includes an initial application review that takes up to a year to complete followed by an on-site inspection of operations, facilities, aircraft, and personnel where all program deficiencies must be revealed and addressed. Reaccreditations occur every three years. This ensures accredited providers are continually upholding their rigid safety and patient care requirements.
